You are super appreciated my dude Q. I got a used 2018 xlt about a year ago and your videos help me figure out what actual mods i want to be putting into my truck. Keep it up brother 👏👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍💪💪💪
For me the best way to explain gears to others, is using a 10 speed bicycle for example. The gears going up or down either increases or decreases resistance on the biker pedaling. Truck= biker pedaling, gear= +/- resistance. Effects gas mileage, torque. 4:56 gears will probably get you right back at factory performance if not better.
Yea as is now you are running a 3.05 gear. If you went to a 4.10 you would be back at the factory final gear of 3.55. Give the truck it’s get up an go back. We talked the other day bout the direction I’m going with the 36-37’s. I got the 10 speed with the 3.55’s. I’ll prob go to a 3.73 gear because it will help with the acceleration plus help with fuel mileage.
Another great video Q. You basically answered all the questions I had. Red looks awesome! I’m looking forward to the power boards install video that I’m sure is coming in the near future (lol). Keep those videos coming.
Haha thanks man! I tried to make sure I covered everything so now when people ask I can just direct them too this video 😂. Yes, power running boards definitely on list, they just $$$
Q!!! There are a few brands out there for electric running boards, Amp / RP & the latest from Rough Country... Which 1s would you consider? Awesome Content 👍 As Always...
I bought tis 547 B's 20x12 with a -44 offset for my 14 F-150 about 6 months ago specifically because of your truck. Saw it on Instagram, didn't know you made videos.
You should look into the bigger turbo flange adapters and 3" downpipes you will love the more power might even help get some of those city MPG back making the engine more efficient.
Thank you for this transparent review. I'm running Fuel Offroad D609's 24X12 -44 Offset with 35X12.5R50R24's on my 2023 F150 XLT FX4 and it handles great with my 6" RC with the Vertex coil Overs and shocks. Not sure I want to give that up for more style. I did just buy a set of BDS upper control arms. I saw yours and had to have them.
Should definitely re-gear.. that will definitely give it some more pep..also can consider a tune or pedal commander of some sort..and think about upgrading front end components to mitigate for premature wear.
I am getting a BDS 6 inch lift on my 2015 f150 Super Cab/ With Fox 2.0 shocks. and front fox 2.0 Performance struts. As soon as the order comes in they will call me. Can't wait !! Love your Truck to !!
Isn't 4.88 or 5.13s too tall brother? I have 4.56s w/ my 35 Nitto MTs & they GO!!! It helped with constant downshift on the highway... Haven't tuned my 5.0, but am really considering... I'd like to gain at least 1mpg... LoL 😂
@@johnnyg2002 4.88 is on the high sweet spot for 35s and 5.13s are recommended for 37s which is also a high sweet spot. I’d say the 5.13s are ideal because of all the additional weight and/ or future weight. The 5.13s will give you the much needed power you desire in all ranges. Check this chart out for gear ratios: images.app.goo.gl/bGS7VRzG2U9dNkNZ7
Thanks for the video bro! I went and got my girl a month ago! 2017 F150 Supercrew XLT 6 inch lift on 35's but that special addition Blue! I love this truck! Aftermarket everything!
If you recalibrate your speedometer with FORscan or You can get the Hypertec speedometer calibrator to reprogram the computer and the speedometer to let the truck know that it is now running 37s.
Can do gears or more power. I'm running 37 on 20 I did full exhaust and Intake. Made huge difference. I mean full exhaust as in the bigger turbo flange adapters 3" down pipes and 3" exhaust all the way back.
I'm running a 7.5 inch lift on my f150 with 35s. I wanted to do 37's but... the 35s give me all the turning ratio and pickup. I felt that 37s (look better) but preforms a lil sluggish w/o regearing to maybe a 4.10 or higher. Still looks great on your truck tho! Congrats!
That sluggish feeling isn’t the added weight, it’s the lack of gearing. Re-gear back to original overall gearing or lower and the truck will come to life.
Good summary review. I’m running 35s with a 7” kit and honestly I have gotten so use to it that I want to go taller. May start with some 37s. Still have 20s and not sure if I want to go larger with the rims just yet. Hope your camera is ok…
If you go 37s definitely consider bigger wheels the 37s going to make 20s Look small. Maybe 22s. Yep camera good. These little gopro are tough i will say
AWSOME! Wellllll explained. I totally agree with everything you said. I’m still on 35’s but I can see exactly what you saying. The entire school of thought that you followed to come to your conclusions I agree!!! Still sittingRIGHT!!!! Glad you didn’t break your phone/camera!!!😎👊🏾🔥🔥🔥👀
Thanks man! As they say great minds lol! Yes definitely noticeable difference with my 35s as compared to my 37s. Thanks for the support and for watching 💪🏾💯
Hey Q. Great video. What you are seeing on your MPG with 37s could be off because your speedometer is not calibrated correctly. I had the same thing when i switched to 35s. After I recalibrated my speedometer the MPG showed correctly. You are correct - when you recalibrate, input the measured tire height (mine was 33 with 35s) and it should align with what you see on your GPS for speed.
@@KickinItWithQ i used the rough country speedometer calibrator. when I originally put 35 on it for tire height my speed reading was still off. when I went to 33 it worked perfect to match gps speed. still do not understand why tire heights are not 35 inches if the manufacturer calls them 35's. gotta be a reason but I can not figure it out. your truck looks sharp!
Just seen your truck on custom offsets when I was looking at wheels. Your truck is looking 🔥! You got me thinking about forged wheels now to help with weight.
Hey Q u are gonna want to get those gears in ASAP. The engine and tranny was not built for it given that u have a v6. I would even go as far as recommending even for v8. Trust me it will be worth it in the long run and you will love the gears change, it’s totally worth it. Your fuel economy will be affected but totally worth the investment for your transmission and your turbo. Also u will need to get it retuned as well.
Have you retired 'Red' to mall crawler status? I remember the off roading adventure...... I felt so bad for you and Red I'm glad is wasn't any worse than it was. ✌ bro keep up the great work! 💯
Try a set of Bushwacker Max. fender flare. My 16 is 8 inch lifted and 35 x 12 1/2 x 18 Mickey Thompsons mud terrain. $700 and they custom paint your flares to match your truck. no more mud getting splashed along the side of my paint job. Excellent investment to protect your paint
Now this makes sense! I was rolling on Kenda Klever wheels for one week they were 35 in but they had a little road noise so I immediately trade in for the 35-in nitto ridge grapplers and I immediately noticed my trucks sat smaller and been disappointed ever since not knowing why I feel that way. Because your video I see that the Nittos do not run true to the size but they run small!! Grapplers are quiet but I do not like that they run small because now my truck sits 2 in lower apparently
Yea some run true to size and others like Nitto don’t. Definitely measure next time you go buy your next set. But the Nitto are very quite and look amazing imo
If your gunna do 37s your gunna wanna regear or whatever you call it. For me on a 6in lift and a good amount of trimming I was able to fit 37s with zero rubbing. 37x12.5 However I’m down sizing to 35s
Big Fella. If you planning on keeping Big Red. You need to get you a project to work on. That's why I got a 2012gt 5.0 mustang. But you still got me walking around my limited 4x4 trying to figure out what move to make on it. 😁😆😅🤣
Big Fella. Game is to be sold not told. I remember in one of your videos you said how your wife reaction to how much you paid for your wheels and tires. Now this is how the old pimps do it. The wheels and tires I'm getting cost 3000 brand new. I showed my wife some wrecked trucks in salvage. I told them wheels probably don't cost no more than 500. So when bust that move she going to think I got them from salvage. We been married for 35 years. And I still got to pull a jack move. In a good way 😄😁😆😅🤣😂. But it's you and BIG RED FAULT 😉
The computer isn’t working harder, your transmission and motor are bc of gears bro. If you think the steering wheel feels heavier that’s the same load on all your steering components too. Truck looks good. I’m regearing on 35’s to 4.56 and will go to 37’s next tire buy.
If you regear idk to what i never go that big on tires. But if you do itll help out on your cruise control mpg and power. Having the 6speed in your truck doesnt help compared to the 10speeds on mpg wise but regearing will help with a few of your issues. But if you think you will stick with the tires regearing isnt going to make you wish you didnt spend the money on doing it. Amd if you noticing your turbos spool alot more now regearing will help you too to keep stress off the turbos
I'd consider 4.30s Q... I'm currently running 4.56s on mine (35s) I like the GO, but feel that 4.30s would've been a happy place... I haven't gotten any feedback tho from any1, which in this Truck Mod-World, it seems to be trial and error... Expensive Tho 😭... LoL 🤣
Love your channel hope the truck is at least 4x4 Truck is beautiful but why dump so much money into a 6 cylinder full size truck if you ever get rid of it your going to take a beating. Ps must regular lift tires. 4-6-8 cylinder
Good info Q! The MPGs seems legit. I did 22x12 on 35s. My MPGs are around 14.5 city. Like you said extra weight! Taken me longer to stop 🛑. Have you upgraded your rotors? Suggestion? And also I went with the bushwhacker extended flare smooth side. I’m still hanging over but It stop flinging the rain and dirt.
No I haven’t upgraded brakes or rotors. Definitely harder to stop. I honestly haven’t looked into any braking improvement but I heard slotted rotors are great for increasing stopping power
Say Q, I love your channel. I have a 2019 3.5 eco boost and it’s my baby. If you are to re gear what would you go with. I got 37”ers on Tha way. I love Red. It’s my favorite eco beast after my own of course!! Keep the content coming. Your channel has helped me so much. Oh yeah what tuner did you go with. I could go back and look but I’m at work at Tha moment. PEACE ✌🏼
Yo I appreciate the love and support man and for watching the videos! In tuned by MPT performance. As far as regear size I have no idea man I have not even looked into it. Others have recommended 4.10, think 4.55 or 4.88 but I haven’t looked into it at all so idk which one would be best.
Hey bro. So you finally did the 37” I am running 37x12.50r 20 but my ride is smooth and doesn’t feel harder on turns. Even u turns. But yes all that grip it can still burn a little bit at take off. Did u use for scan to update the speedometer we did it a few times till we got it perfect. Plus am using 7” ready lift and we used the upgrade knuckles. Basically it’s what u have but mine is a white one 2019. I am trying to get the strength to make a video. But I haven’t made any UA-cam since I was in a coma in 2019 and it messed me up. Love the truck bro.
Yea wanted to go a different route as opposed to 24x14. Your Truck sounds nice though man. I’m happy to b hear you are all in well too! I appreciate you watching
I was told that once u regear with those heavy tires it burns way more fuel and mpg drops Btw it's too late for me to change my mind the 37's have been ordered already..I feel like I'm making horrible decisions for a nicer look🤦🏾♂️
Time to upgrade the TURBOSKIS😂😂😂 aerodynamics and taller gearing are the reasons for "sluggish" acceleration up top. As known, that acceleration follows the engine torque curve which is multiplied by the gearing (of course). The reason why today's trucks have taller rear end gearing is because they have shorter gearing in the transmission. In your case that's a 4.17 first gear multiplied by 3.55 and your engine torque at low speed, but when you get to higher speeds and taller gearing then you lose tremendous amount of force to the tire.
Lol!!! Yea man I’ll be just cruising until I decided a regear is needed or forced to do it lol. But man really Preciate all the information! You a dang scientist with it
Q quick question brother…I just installed a rough country 6” lift kit, I used the loaded struts and added a 1.5” leveling kit on top of it I also replaced the upper control arm with a KSP…I have a issue with my angles the UPC is touching the spring…what could be causing this problem? Thank you.
Hey Q! I saw one of your old videos about why you should tune your truck and I’m a new truck owner and not exactly the most knowledgeable on it just a little bit but I have stuff to learn. Two questions what exactly is a tune like what do they do to your truck? And how much does it cost? I have a 2018 Ford F-150 and I’m looking to make some modifications to it.
The trucks have to meet certain restrictions so they are heavily restricted far as performance. Basically a tune unlocks that and allows the truck to perform at peak levels. Unlocking that restrictive power. Price will vary but expect to pay about $500+
Hey Q, I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ. I just moved to the Frisco area from California. Can you point me to a few reputable shops where I can do a 6" BDS lift with fox shocks on 20" rims X 35" tires ? Thanks
Do your tires rub. Mine are rubbing on the crash bar and the guys said they can’t trim the crash bar. I’m running a 7 inch lift 37 inch tires on 20 inch rims and the offset is 12mm
No errors at all. Had TPMS sensor issue but that’s been fixed. Yea I feel it’s definitely working a bit harder. Turbos spool a lot more. More weight so gotta work more to move it
355 and a 10 speed would be better. But at a minimum for a 6 speed you should be using a 373 or 410 gears...kiss that gas mileage good bye...Hola from Chicago 🍕🌭 truck looks good
😂😂 man hella lucky! These little things tough for sure. I still got them. If I ever same truck they would be sold with it. But we’ll see. Lmmfao skinny jeans the look. They not skinny just tailored at ankle lol

That drop off in acceleration you're feeling at higher speeds can be fixed with gears Q. It will make your truck quicker in the lower gears as well.
I figured that’s what it was. I can see why a lot of people recommend it
@@KickinItWithQ I have been riding with 37's on my jeep for two years. I still need to regear it, but it came with 3.73 gears so it's not terrible.

😂😂 that means she’ll sink even faster
Preciate that bro…. Glad you let me know, so when I put 37s on my coupe I will be ready! 😎😂
No need for mudguards?
😂😂. Not the coupe lol. You could put mudguards but they ugly 😂.
Should've just upgraded to a f250 bro! Get more truck I'm making the change! Great Channel
Thanks man! F250 definitely want one but Red my girl at the moment lol. I appreciate you watching! Congrats on the truck boss 💪🏾
Love your channel hope the truck is at least 4x4 Truck is beautiful but why dump so much money into a 6 cylinder full size truck if you ever get rid of it your going to take a beating. Ps must regular lift tires. 4-6-8 cylinder
Q! I ordered the rear RC vertex shocks to replace the crappy N3s!
Looking forward to installing them!
Nice man! Definitely tell me how they compare when you get them on
35x10.50 on 17s will give the best ride quality
I definitely have to buy me a truck, you have a nice ride bro!
Preciate it my guy! Nothing like a truck they so practical these days
If you ever pull those steps off to get AMP steps, let me know Q! Red looking great!
Thanks man! Def will. Preciate you watching
I want to get some amp steps. Do you own a shop?
Good info Q! The MPGs seems legit. I did 22x12 on 35s. My MPGs are around 14.5 city. Like you said extra weight! Taken me longer to stop 🛑. Have you upgraded your rotors? Suggestion? And also I went with the bushwhacker extended flare smooth side. I’m still hanging over but It stop flinging the rain and dirt.
No I haven’t upgraded brakes or rotors. Definitely harder to stop. I honestly haven’t looked into any braking improvement but I heard slotted rotors are great for increasing stopping power
Say Q, I love your channel. I have a 2019 3.5 eco boost and it’s my baby. If you are to re gear what would you go with. I got 37”ers on Tha way. I love Red. It’s my favorite eco beast after my own of course!! Keep the content coming. Your channel has helped me so much. Oh yeah what tuner did you go with. I could go back and look but I’m at work at Tha moment.
PEACE ✌🏼
Yo I appreciate the love and support man and for watching the videos! In tuned by MPT performance. As far as regear size I have no idea man I have not even looked into it. Others have recommended 4.10, think 4.55 or 4.88 but I haven’t looked into it at all so idk which one would be best.
Once you go above 35’s it’s recommended to have it re-geared. But depending on how hard you drive it, it would be up to the owner.
I love this….you and I are into the same shit. I got rid of my ecoboost, and went with the 5.0
Nice bro! nothing like sound of v8s
Could you post some pictures of the trimming needed? I’m looking to do it myself.

Hey bro. So you finally did the 37” I am running 37x12.50r 20 but my ride is smooth and doesn’t feel harder on turns. Even u turns. But yes all that grip it can still burn a little bit at take off. Did u use for scan to update the speedometer we did it a few times till we got it perfect. Plus am using 7” ready lift and we used the upgrade knuckles. Basically it’s what u have but mine is a white one 2019. I am trying to get the strength to make a video. But I haven’t made any UA-cam since I was in a coma in 2019 and it messed me up. Love the truck bro.
Yea wanted to go a different route as opposed to 24x14. Your Truck sounds nice though man. I’m happy to b hear you are all in well too! I appreciate you watching
Thanks for the info
Another banger keep it up💪💯
Thanks my guy glad you enjoyed video
Stay killin it Q!
Yooo!!!! Preciate it my guy 💪🏾💪🏾
With all that added weight do you need to upgrade your brakes to handle more stress to weight ratio?
It’d definitely help with slowing it down
I was told that once u regear with those heavy tires it burns way more fuel and mpg drops
Btw it's too late for me to change my mind the 37's have been ordered already..I feel like I'm making horrible decisions for a nicer look🤦🏾♂️
Def well notice the difference but beauty as pain as they saying goes Lol
How do u feel about your decision just put some 37s on today 😂😂😂
They heavy lol definitely will probably regear in future
@@jakeE2898 I'm bout to tune it now..shits dope asf
I just did the same thing today… how did it end up going?
Thanks buddy
💪🏾💪🏾
Great vid!
Preciate it bro! Glad You enjoyed the video
Good lookin ride Bro
Preciate it boss
Great content homie 🔥🔥👍🏽
Thanks my guy! Preciate you tuning in. Glad you like the video
Have you thought about some fender flares🤔
Nah I don’t like flares prefer the clean Look
Question I have the same truck but the stock 17 rim and 37 tires on a 2015 f150 XL… how high do I need to left the front and rear to make them fit?
6-8in lift probably
@@KickinItWithQ dam. I’m going to try it with 6 inch lift. Cheers mate
@@Angry-Little-Fish no problem, bro this definitely be expecting to rub a lil
That hat is sick. Are you going to get merch out soon?
Thanks man! Not soon but definitely planning on bringing merch one day. I just want to make sure it’s done right
Soo Do you think i Can put 37s 20x12 with only 4 inch lift kit?
Nah doubt it. Not enough clearance
Time to upgrade the TURBOSKIS😂😂😂 aerodynamics and taller gearing are the reasons for "sluggish" acceleration up top. As known, that acceleration follows the engine torque curve which is multiplied by the gearing (of course). The reason why today's trucks have taller rear end gearing is because they have shorter gearing in the transmission. In your case that's a 4.17 first gear multiplied by 3.55 and your engine torque at low speed, but when you get to higher speeds and taller gearing then you lose tremendous amount of force to the tire.
Lol!!! Yea man I’ll be just cruising until I decided a regear is needed or forced to do it lol. But man really Preciate all the information! You a dang scientist with it
what size lift kit you got
6in but has been raised to about 7in
That truck looks bad ass. So honestly, do you like the way it ride now?
Yea I’m cool with it. I do miss some of the speed but I’m an adrenaline junky lol. I just need something for spirited driving/riding.
Q quick question brother…I just installed a rough country 6” lift kit, I used the loaded struts and added a 1.5” leveling kit on top of it I also replaced the upper control arm with a KSP…I have a issue with my angles the UPC is touching the spring…what could be causing this problem? Thank you.
I’m not sure bro you might need to take it back to the shop that did the install
@@KickinItWithQ thank you Q
Sup Q!! I’m thinking about getting new running boards on my F150. Is that something you have thought about or recommend?
Yes, definitely want some power running boards. Help with getting in and makes the truck look taller
@@KickinItWithQ good stuff man! Thanks again
Hey Q! I saw one of your old videos about why you should tune your truck and I’m a new truck owner and not exactly the most knowledgeable on it just a little bit but I have stuff to learn. Two questions what exactly is a tune like what do they do to your truck? And how much does it cost? I have a 2018 Ford F-150 and I’m looking to make some modifications to it.
The trucks have to meet certain restrictions so they are heavily restricted far as performance. Basically a tune unlocks that and allows the truck to perform at peak levels. Unlocking that restrictive power. Price will vary but expect to pay about $500+
@@KickinItWithQ so how do you know if your truck meets those restrictions?
They have to in order to be sold by manufacturers like Ford In United States
@@KickinItWithQ alright thanks man! Keep it up big fan of yours your living the dream with that truck fords are the best! 👊
@@Kyle-ls1xz thanks boss! I appreciate the support 🤝
Go to 4.10 or 4:30 gearswill get up faster
Bushwackers!! They’d give it the “wide-body” look.
Haha nah I’m good on those
Fender flares are a mistake they have a good look however they will wear the paint off in no time. Some 4 mil clear plastic will help with rock chips.
Hey Q,
I have a 2015 Silverado LTZ. I just moved to the Frisco area from California. Can you point me to a few reputable shops where I can do a 6" BDS lift with fox shocks on 20" rims X 35" tires ? Thanks
Yep definitely go to Hooper Motorplex in McKinney
Thanks, I love your page Brother. It's super informative. Proud of you Brother. You doing it.
@@demetriusrashaad2685 thanks boss I appreciate you for watching
Hey what size did you put the 37 inch tires on the calibrater. I put it at 37.00 and it thinks I’m going 5 over
Same! a guy told me try and put 35s, I just haven’t had time to redo it
@@KickinItWithQ lmk if you figure it out lol
Next video: "ok guys these bigfoot monster truck tires do feel slightly different than my other tires but they are 3 feet taller so that's expected"
Do your tires rub. Mine are rubbing on the crash bar and the guys said they can’t trim the crash bar. I’m running a 7 inch lift 37 inch tires on 20 inch rims and the offset is 12mm
No I don’t rub but that’s because my crash bars up front are gone and the rear slightly trimmed.
I showed the trimming in this video.
@@KickinItWithQ I wonder why they don’t want to trim it
It’s a safety issue. They keep tires from coming in cab. Front can be remove, but don’t cut the rears
@@KickinItWithQ so with yours how does that affect it now. Yeah my front tires are the ones rubbing on it
Lmao me over here laughing with my Dana 6 rear end and my 6.2 raptor running 37's with no power loss keep up the good work Q
lol Man raptor comes with bigger gears right?
@UCX-QR-hlDZ1_A4NzHdk0mPw ok though I heard someone say they had 4.10 . But either way Raptors a beast l
@@KickinItWithQ sorry it does I have 2 f150s a 2011 lariat limited and a 2013 raptor both have the 6.2L 11 has D6 raptor has 4:10
Gotcha you can run 37 no problem
Do you feel that the heavier the tire the harder the 3.5 is working ? Any errors thrown or warnings? Either way it’s a sweet ride!!! Looks mean…
No errors at all. Had TPMS sensor issue but that’s been fixed. Yea I feel it’s definitely working a bit harder. Turbos spool a lot more. More weight so gotta work more to move it
Got it!
Any major transmission downshifting on the highway, Q? 6th gear to 4th trying to stay up to speed while in cruise control?
No haven’t experienced any issues with that. The truck still is shifting fine. But I haven’t tried shifting manually yet
I noticed you had it on sport. Do you always run on sport?
No, I usually only use sport when I’m on freeways
u think u would ever get a 9" lift?
Umm never say never but that’s hella tall
In here!!
Maybe mud flaps or mud guards will help from kick back from degree
Yea mudflaps would help with that. I personally don’t like mudflaps, visually they just not appealing
Hey can u still tow alittle on 37 ?
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure you can. Just know your load and payload numbers
Skinny jeans homie, wow B
😂 I should have said tailored.
Who trimmed it up for the 37’s
I went to Hooper Motorplex in Mckinney texas
Your mpgs are roughly the same probably cause you're not driving it as quick. That's my guess.
Very well true. Def drive a lot slower now
Good Shit
Thanks boss!
Time for some fender flares ??
Nah, they mess up your paint. Tried them on my white truck and in 30 days started to rust/yellow the paint
Yea as Daniel said they cause rust and honestly I I like the clean look
Awe damn 😂🤣
😂
355 and a 10 speed would be better. But at a minimum for a 6 speed you should be using a 373 or 410 gears...kiss that gas mileage good bye...Hola from Chicago 🍕🌭 truck looks good
No question! I’d def go probably 456 gears for sure. Oh yea it’s definitely about SPG…smiles per gallon 😂. Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks my guy! 💪🏾💪🏾
I'm not sure why but, from various observations, I notice a lot of Ford's vehicle interiors show exterior paint jobs. GRRRRRRR!!!!🤦♂️🙄
Is your truck a 10speed transmission?
If memory serves me right he has a 2016 3.5L which means he has the same transmission as my 2017's 2.7L. Thats a 6 speed with sport mode.
@@ignignxkt true
It’s 6spd
@@KickinItWithQ might be time for a upgrade 10 speed transmission
At that point might as well get a new truck lol if that’s what you meant
You got lucky with running over the camera.😂😂😂 What are you going to do with the 35's? Do me a favor no skinny jeans. 🙅🏾♂️
😂😂 man hella lucky! These little things tough for sure. I still got them. If I ever same truck they would be sold with it. But we’ll see. Lmmfao skinny jeans the look. They not skinny just tailored at ankle lol
@@KickinItWithQ Go to Walmart, get those spandex pants with the denim print that the girls wear and horrify us on an April fools episode lol. Call it "how to get in and out of a lifted f150" and have it entirely in slow mo 🤮
1500?
Yep
